Hi Guys ... I'm planning on a new car from Germany, and I only found those 2 cars.

car number 1 (http://www.mobile.de/SIDWBEh-5P.-QPCJN6oiUiPlA-t-vaNexlCsAsCsK%F3P%F3R~BmSB11LsearchPublicJ11471243 41A2LsearchPublicD1100CCarX-t-vctpLtt~BmPA1A1B20B13%81r-t-vCaMiMkPRQuSeUnVb_X_Y_x_ygeprsO~BSRA6D1100B24D3500 H80000000BGNCPKWA0HinPublicA2A0A0A0NSchaltgetriebe H60000000A0/cgi-bin/da.pl?bereich=pkw&sprache=2&sr_qual=GN&top=10&id=11111111205284148&) this has no sunroof and manual seats. final price was 7000 Euro

car number 2 (http://www.mobile.de/SIDWBEh-5P.-QPCJN6oiUiPlA-t-vaNexlCsAsCsK%F3P%F3R~BmSB11LsearchPublicJ11471243 41A2LsearchPublicD1100CCarX-t-vctpLtt~BmPA1A1B20B13%81r-t-vCaMiMkPRQuSeUnVb_X_Y_x_ygeprsO~BSRA6D1100B24D3500 H80000000BGNCPKWA0HinPublicA2A0A0A0NSchaltgetriebe H60000000A0/cgi-bin/da.pl?bereich=pkw&sprache=2&sr_qual=GN&top=6&id=11111111196557261&) this one I really liked but it has a problem in the engine ( after translation it wa saying that the enigne is rattling ) still trying to call the guy.

Please adivice me which one to buy, both are manual 6 speeds.

Call both guys. A phone conversation is worth a thousand emails.

[grave77]

true ... but if you were in my shoes ... what would you do. I need a friendly advice as if I have all of you to consult. :)

cant see **** from the second cars picture. Do you have access to another engine? It has lower miles and a snroof and manual seats...thats not a BMW you want! LOL good luck with whatever you choose Barry.

And more expensive.

Careful with the second one - the engine needs either replacing or a refit (motorschaden = damaged engine). t marat's find is better. Sure it's more expensive, but it's money you will save in the long run. My mum still lives in Germany, and when I went to visit, there were boat loads of petrol (err gasoline) cars for sale cheap as everyone is switching to diesel, so there might bee room for negotiations.

well sure thing that t_marat saw a good car, but my budget is limited, remember that I still need to pay for shipping this ride and paying customs when I get it from the docks. I'm looking for something like 7600 Euro max.

money is no object...

Money is always lacking :)
I hope to buy that kind of BMW in 1-2 years. Or maybe a 7 series

[grave77]

thought about the 7 series, but it's huge !! 5er rocks ... it's has the 3 best things in BMW world .. power luxary and compact, as 3 series lacks luxary while 7 series is huge ... you can get the same luxary you have in the 7 series with the same engine with smaller size .. thats the 540i ... :)

[grave77]

hell no .. it is Jeff !! your the one who should know :P if this car cost me around 8K that's around 35,000 AED it's just like paying 35,000 USD in your place. so it does make a difference.
